Draft of Liberalisation of the Schedule/Codes for ‘S’ and ‘Sc’ Formers.

The Chairman noted that this was a special meeting of the Council devoted to the draft liberalization of schedule and codes for S and Sc formers. He began the discussion by mentioning that he had brought up these matters both at the Housemasters’ Council and the Prefects’ Council and received some feedback which he would share in the course of the discussions. The meeting’s proceedings were broken up into the following sections:

DKS suggested to the Council that if all competitions were to finish by the end of October in the 2nd Term, it would give the Sc Formers enough time to prepare for examinations. Another option was to have a compulsory ban on Sc Formers on all activities after August. Kushagra Kumar suggested that a ban on activities after Founder’s would be the most appropriate and feasible. PBR suggested that P.T. could be ended, and inter-house basketball could be played in the 1st Term so as to ease the burden on Sc formers in the second term. DKS said that he would see if a schedule along these lines could be worked out. The Chairman also suggested that perhaps the PT competition could be held at the end of March, with A Transitioners continuing to do PT throughout the Board exams and then going home on March 31 at the completion of PT and cricket. The Chairman noted that the number of A Transitioners seeking permission to go home and miss the cricket competition was disquieting. There was also discussion around having the parent-teacher meeting on March 31 so that parents could watch the competition. It was felt that this might be too complicated a schedule to manage. The school would look into this possibility.

PKN brought to the attention of the Council that the ISC Council required at least forty hours of service, twenty hours each in S and Sc form. This was quite easily done by the boys. As for STAs, they were not compulsory for either S or Sc formers.
